And other interesting state-of-tech article:

PrecisionHawk raises $10M for its land-surveying drones

As the largest community body of land surveyors anywhere in the world with close to 9000 members, we have a responsibility. We must do all that we can to educate the public regarding our importance to society in order to pave the way for those who come after us.  One way to accomplish this would be for each of us to record a short PSA sharing the nature of surveying jobs in the places where we live.  

For Example, this PSA was submitted by Kennedy Komla of Ghana

Here we are busy giving training on CEASER and the use of UAV's for Aerial Surveys, which was very successful.

For a free demo of the CEASER program visit www.ceaser.co.za. All processing of the Aerial data is done by using Photoscan from Agisoft.

I was checking out Vine earlier today thinking of a few ways to integrate social media outside of Land Surveyors United into the day and found some pretty cool short videos of land surveyors doing what they do best and figured I would try to embed a few as a test in the site.  Turn the sound on to hear what they are saying in each.

Surveyor calc 

I am a surveyor and I spent a lot of time to do surveys with my dad. Then I asked myself, why not speed things up? we have many daily electronic tools, why not use them?

That's why I decided to develop Surveyor calc.

Surveyor calc is an application designed to perform the max speed and productivity in the field of

survey.

It allows to calculate areas of a survey but also to create automatically a digital figure of the survey

to open in a CAD software.

Why this is a very useful app? This

Below is a link to the first of four different whitepapers on the current state of land surveying technology, and how CDIS (first published in Professional Surveyor several years ago) will replace CAD as the core engine for surveying in the future.  Previously only SiteComp (Land Innovation) adopted CDIS, but its user interfaces, graphic output, and tagged intelligence did not take full advantage of it's potential.

The link to the whitepaper is:

Land Surveyor named Indiana Jones

One day I was sitting in my office in Downtown Houston around 5:00 pm in the afternoon in 2001 when the phone rang.  My secretary had already left and I was not anxious to answer it.  I had a comfortable practice running three field crews and another Professional Land Surveyor in the office.  I was daydreaming about maybe selling the business for a million dollars and jus
